lug nuts.....driving me nuts
installing a set of zr1 rims.
the owner didn't have all the original chrome lug nuts.
went looking for some "close matches" at the parts store, but nobody makes the lugs in the 19mm socket size that the stock are.
WTF!!!
anyone know how much they are from a dealer? any other options so that i can still use the factory foldable lug wrench with the spare?

Re: lug nuts.....driving me nuts
i looked up some in summit and jegs....all they list are the thread sizes. not the socket size.
i think i found some on ebay...waiting to get an answer from the guy on the socket size

19 millimeter = 0.748031496 inch
Since changing my lug nuts, I put a 4 point lug wrench on my car.
I often use whichever of the ends feels tight on the nut without looking at the size. I'm sure this means that sometimes it's the 19mm and sometimes it's the 3/4 inch.
I think the thing to be most concerned with is that you are getting conical (acorn) lugs with a 12 x 1.50 pitch.

Re: lug nuts.....driving me nuts
well i don't have room to keep a 4-way in my Z.
and sofar all i've been able to find for lug sizes is 13/16"...which is bigger than 19mm or 3/4"....so the stock wrench doesn't fit.
oh well...i'll figure it out
